Manchester United travel to East Anglia for a crucial clash with Norwich City this afternoon hoping to kick-start their season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side currently sit 15th in the Premier League after their worst start to a season in 30 years, but signs suggest their form is improving - albeit gradually.
A 1-1 draw against leaders Liverpool, followed by a narrow victory against Partizan in midweek, showed that there could be light at the end of the tunnel.
The Canaries have conceded 21 goals in nine games so far and Daniel Farke's side are without a win in four since they shocked Manchester City 3-2 in September.
Victory would lift United into the top half should results go their way and many would certainly expect the Red Devils to come away with all three points.

Man Utd team news and injuries
Paul Pogba has been ruled out of Manchester United’s clash with Norwich, with Ole Gunnar Solskjær failing to put a time-frame on the midfielder’s return from an ankle and foot injury.
Pogba hasn’t played since the draw with Arsenal last month - and despite travelling to Dubai to recuperate during the international break, is still to return to fitness.
David de Gea will be back for the trip to Carrow Road on Sunday after missing Thursday’s Europa League win against Partizan Belgrade - but United will assess Nemanja Matic and Luke Shaw, who were both sent to Dubai this week for the final stage of their recoveries from respective injuries.
Axel Tuanzebe had to pull out of that game after hurting his hip in the pre-match warm-up.
Solskjær is likely to stick with his newly formulated 3-5-2 system against a Norwich side who stunned Manchester City with a 3-2 win at Carrow Road earlier this season.
Predicted Man Utd XI: De Gea; Lindelof, Maguire, Rojo; Wan-Bissaka, McTominay, Lingard, Fred, Young; Martial, Rashford.

Prediction: Norwich 1-2 Man Utd
United are still struggling for form but against Norwich's porous defence, they may be able to find a way through.
With Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are both back from injury, Solskjaer's men could finally end their long run without an away victory in the Premier League.
